Deadpool losing Rodriguez?

Swede Adam Berg could be in the frame

Deadpool has long been synonymous with the names Ryan Reynolds and Robert Rodriguez.

But thanks to Rodriguez’s interminably busy-as-a-Christmas-elf movie schedule – which includes the treasure trove of CGI horrors that will certainly be Spy Kids 4 and the long in demand Sin City 2 – 20th Century Fox are seeking out plan B directing alternatives.

24 Frames are now reporting that Berg is a “top contender” to take on the project if Rodriguez is unable to.

While this would be a definite blow for Rod lovers (us included) salivating at the prospect of seeing him take on another comic book adap, if there’s no way for him to physically make Deadpool , Berg is definitely somebody who could bring the movie to life with style.
